(no subject)

Hi, I'm new to the community. I'm due in July and I'm having trouble choosing some names. We have one daughter named Anna Grace. Our last name is Brazile (pronounced Brazzle) of Irish origin. If you can't tell, we're not into trendy trendy names. I want something timeless and classic but not boring.

So far, I've only got one name if the baby is a boy: Dylan Patrick, even though I think it may be too popular at the moment.

Does anyone have any suggestions on both boys and girls names?

Thanks!

alexander is my brother's name! i love alexandria but i can't deal with alex as a girl's nickname. i'm having serious considerations for charlotte but don't think my husband will go for it. demetrius is really cute too except i have some bad associations due to a student of mine. the perks of being a teacher.

alex isn't the only nickname for alexandria! i use xandria (prn ex-andria) and xan (zan) :) ally/allie/ali/etc. work too. the only reason i don't use those is because my sister, allison, only goes by allie.
plus, you can always take the route of her not wanting a nickname. my twin sister refuses to be jackie, it's always jacqueline.

ps, i like patrick :)

Catherine, Sarah, Elizabeth, Margaret, Eleanor, Helen, Laura, Cecelia, Julia, Lily, Charlotte, Mary.

Noah, Jacob, Alexander, James, Jonathan, Peter, Eli.

haha, you just named my husband's family. his grandmother is eleanor, great grandmother helen, cousins kathryn, sarah, elizabeth. aunt mary, step sister laura. a bit ridiculous.

i had an ex named eli :\ and my brother is named alex

i do like charlotte though

Boy (all go well with Patrick as a middle name):

Lucas (Luke)
Nathan
Samuel
Aaron
Colin

Girl:

Julia
Alexandra
Sarah
Miranda
Katherine

I looooove Patrick, but Dylan is very very very popular/trendy. Plus, it's becoming kind of dated in the late 90s kind of way.

Jonas Patrick
Colin Patrick
Adrian Patrick
Kellen Patrick
Ian Patrick
Asa Patrick
Callum Patrick
Liam Patrick

I also like Patrick as a first name, a lot. That would actually be my first choice. I also like Ian Patrick.

For girls...
Lucy
Catherine
Lena
Lydia
Josephine
Nadine
Maura
Margaret (Molly, Meg, etc.)
Bethany
Caroline

i love ian patrick! i actually thought of that name for my first if she had been a boy. i'm not so sure what my husband thinks about ian though. asa is a boy's name? how is it pronounced?

i like lucy and josephine but don't know about lu lu, luce, josey, joey, jo for nicknames. i like maura too but i knew a couple and it puts a damper on things

and i've been thinking about carolyn but am not too sure yet

Asa is pronounced Ay-suh. I love it:)

Lucy would most likely not be shortened to LuLu or Luce; Lucy's pretty common, and I've never heard anyone called 'LuLu'. Maybe Luce, but usually as in, "Hey, Luce, can you pass me that stapler?" and not as an actual substitute for the name. I understand with Josephine, though, because it would probably get shortened to Josie/Jo pretty often. I love Joey as a nickname:)

I like Carolyn, but definitely prefer the -line ending of Caroline. -Lyn always seems trendy-ish to me. But Carolyn is nice, too.

Isla

wren is really cute! haven't thought of that one. and i've actually been considering isla because my husband jokingly said to name the baby that after isla fisher. carter is a really cute name too but i'm afraid that being from MA, it will get butchered into "cahtah"

Haha - CAHTAH! PAHC the CAHHHH and get in HEHA! My fam is from MA. I can see Carter being a problem. :)

I also thought of these for you:
Wynn
Harriet
Hazel
Diana
Linnea
Suzanne
Rosalin
Louisa
Claire
Caroline
Lisel
Willa
Mira
Henrietta
Ramona
Melissa
Daphne
Laura

Boys:
Harvey
Niles
Gregory
Douglas
Gideon
Erik
Felix
Wyatt

Some of them may be a little "out there" for you, but take what you like and leave the rest :)

i love ramona, claire, and caroline. and suzanna is my name. i actually think it would really cute to name the baby susannah and call her suzy for short. but that would make it three sue's including me. haha, i don't know. i think figuring out this baby's name is going to be tough until i find out what it's going be!

I think Anna and Oliver/Anna and Isaiah/Anna and Amelia/Anna and Clare would be adorable sibsets.

it's funny how some of the suggestions are repeating! i've actually thought of clare because my husband's mother's family comes from clare, ireland. i like patrick but it's also my husband's brother's name. oliver is cute too

These are my boy picks...

P.S.

Since you have an Irish last name, my favorite name of the origin is Seamus. :) I also like Rafferty, but not sure how you would feel about that.

we actually know a seamus so it would be pretty funny/awkward. rafferty is a bit out there. i looked in an irish name book at the book store but didn't finish it out. i'm still looking! next time
